*** ** * ** ***

Denotes an artifact type that can be appended to. Appending means that existing artifacts produced by other tasks are untouched and a new task producing the artifact type will have its output appended to the list of artifacts.

Due to the additive behavior of the append scenario, an [Appendable](https://developer.android.com/reference/tools/gradle-api/8.13/com/android/build/api/artifact/Artifact.Appendable) must be a [Multiple](https://developer.android.com/reference/tools/gradle-api/8.13/com/android/build/api/artifact/Artifact.Multiple).
